Dr. Madu continues, “This year the ‘Get Fit and Be Healthy’ goal is to engage the entire family in an effort to make a difference in today’s youth by providing awareness. We are proud to be partnering with South Nassau Communities Hospital and other practitioners from our very own neighborhoods who will offer free health screenings for blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol levels and BMI (Body Mass Index).”
